Sequencer related properties were not grouped together, and it wasn't

We use column or row headings here to bring more structure, and to give
the eye visual anchors which aid eye-scanning. The left-aligned
checkboxes likewise help with this. And we keep the adherence to the
center line, so the alignment matches up between the various buttons and
controls.
* Changes the property split percentage from 50/50% to 40/60%. This is
needed to give enough space for the checkboxes. But in most cases this
looks better anyway - see Transform panel. In some cases it simply
fills out the available space more efficently.
* Fix various hacks where we previously used manually defined splits.
When we did this, the alignment was never quite right, and the layout
code was a mess.
* Adds column headings to many places where a list of checkboxes all
share a common purpose or leading text.
* Add checkbox + value configurations various places where a checkbox
only serves to enable the value slider
* Removes most uses of grid flow layout. The grid flow layouts combine
poorly with column headings, and also they would mess alignment up
badly. The grid flow layouts also often made buttons and controls jump
around on the screen if you would just resize editors slightly,
causing visual confusion, making users lose their place. The logic for
at what time the list of items would re-flow was often flawed, jumping
to multiple columns too fast or too late - and frankly, the grid flow
layouts would often just look bad.

Most work here by William Reynish, few changes by Julian Eisel.
Note that given how experimental is working currently, I had to rename
and inverse the effect of the experimental undo flag, which will now
instead activate legacy code when set.
Also some minor improvements:
- Only run once per object data instance.
- Correction for mesh smooth flag being used on curves.
- Move curve operation into utility function.
Basically this new tool constitutes a macro that uses the parameters of
the Extrude and Translate operators that were recently implemented.
Thanks to @CandleComet for initial implementation.

Menus from the top-bar, space-header and key bindings are used
to gather menus to populate the search popup.
Giving better context and default options for operators.
Part of T74157
Enabling "Developer Extras" exposes operator search in the Edit menu,
as this can be useful for developers to run operators
without first exposing them in the interface.
Use a regular context menu as a fallback for the outliner.
If there are no specific actions for the item under the cursor,
fall through to opening a regular menu.
This lets menu search find the context menu items which were previously
unavailable as menu search wont run operators.
The Layer brush was in Blender before 2.81, when the sculpt API was
introduced. It had a huge amount of bugs and glitches which made it
almost unusable for anything but the most trivial cases. Also, it needed
some hacks in the code just to support the persistent base.
The brush was completely rewritten using the Sculpt API. It fulfills the
same use case as the old one, but it has:
- All previous artifacts fixed
- Simpler code
- Persistent base now works with multires thanks to the sculpt API
- Small cursor widget to preview the layer height
- More controllable and smoother strength and deformation
- More correct masking support
- More predictable invert support. When using persistent base, the brush invert mode resets to layer height 0, instead of jumping from +1 to -1. The brush can still be inverted in the brush direction property.

This mesh filter sharpens and smooths the mesh based on its curvature,
resulting in pinching hard edges and polishing flat surfaces. It fixes
most of the artifacts of the voxel remesher and those produced when
sculpting hard surfaces and stylized models with creasing and flattening
brushes.
It needs and accumulate_displacement step before each filter iteration which
can't be multithreaded in an easy way (it would need something to sync the
threads when modifying the data of neighbors in a different node), but this
does not affect performance in a significant way.

Add an option to solidify complex which will make faces which have thickness
controlled by vertex weights flat/even, and parallel to their original face.
For each face it uses the minimal weight assigned to its vertices to control
the thickness.
This will help users for example in architecture or basic CAD design by finally
making solidify work there at all if altering thickness is needed.

Adds a slider to solidify which allows the user to add bevel weight on the outside
or remove bevel weight from the inside.
Also includes a very small improvment for working with subsurface modifier where
the rim edge in complex solidify will now also have a chance to get a crease if
there is only two adjacent edges.

* Implemented the algortihm that would merge vertices to the weighted
center between them.
* Exposed the merge threshold to the user.
The new default tolerance is 0.0001 (versionning code ensures that
previous default value remains in use to avoid any change in existing
files).

This patch adds the option to use an armature bone in place of an object for texture mask coordinates.
This affects the 3 vertex weight modifiers, the displace modifier, the warp modifier, and the wave modifier.

In Blender 2.81 we update and draw all nodes inside the view planes.
When navigating with a pen tablet after an operation that tags the whole
mesh to update (like undo or inverting the mask), this introduces some
lag as nodes are updating when they enter the view. The viewport is not
fully responsive again until all nodes have entered the view after the
operation.
This commit delays nodes updates until the view navigation stops, so the
viewport navigation is always fully responsive. This introduces some
artifacts while navigating, so it can be disabled if you don't want to
see them.
I'm storing the update planes in the PBVH. This way I can add support
for some tools to update in real-time only the nodes inside this plane
while running the operator, like the mesh filter.

This adds the automasking options to the Sculpt Tool options in a way
that they affect all brushes. This is more convenient when working with
some of these options while switching brushes as they don't need to be
enabled/disabled per brush.
An automasking option is enabled if it is enabled in the brush or in the
sculpt options.

As the 'M' key is free, it's convenient to use for the merge menu,
especially since this contains "Merge by Distance",
a frequently used action.
Use 'Alt-M' for a new split menu, following our convention of Alt being
used for opposite functionality.
Also move merge/split menu's into the "Mesh" menu as neither operate
solely on a single mesh element type.
